Great news.  Its more nerve racking now as as the slightest niggle can cause a huge problem and different testers use their own personal level of discrection etc, you never know what they may be spiteful on or how much unforseen costs you may have looming with little time to put it right.

Always makes me laugh when they test the seat belts and leave the rear seat belts buckled up lol

 I thought you drove a state? Mike

You may think that my loverly E30 M3 may be in a (bit-off-a) state (which it isn't ) but at least it isn't...........

An Estate!  (and a bit of a dog?)

Estates are the same as saloons apart from they are less aerodynamic in reverse!  Mike

Or Forward if a Volvo

How is the engine these days Pits

The present (!) engine is a vast improvement on the other thank you

Parts from the other are now scattered far and wide around the country, helping to keep other E30 M3's alive!

Well done Mike - I know how you feel when it comes to MOT time. Just re-inforces my decision to buy my e34 and it really does seem to be the most reliable BMW to buy especially when it comes to MOT time
